I took my 14-year old daughter and my 6-year old son (who had been
"media-trained") to see the movie this weekend. Most of "crude" stuff went
over the 6-year-old's head and my 14-year old continued to "roll her
terrible eyes, and show her terrible claws,...." (oops...wrong book),
throughout the entire movie because I insisted that she come with us (since
she wanted to see two other movies instead--- Haunted Mansion and Elf).
Within 30 minutes of the movie and very few laughs, I began to watch (and
listen to) the audience. No one was laughing at the "jokes" and no one
seemed to be smiling. In fact, it might have been viewed as a documentary
if only the faces of the audience could have been seen without any sounds
from the film.
I was disappointed and wished that I had seen "Elf" (again) with my
children. It had much funnier scenes and a feel-good sense of humor. (Is
it just me, or are most movies pretty bland and without "substance"?)
However, on the bright-side....the documentary on A&E about "Dr. Seuss"
Sunday evening was wonderful! I need this video if / when it becomes
available!
